Plenty of People Do It, Why Can’t I?

Plenty of people have stressful, unsatisfying jobs for decades and decades before they throw in the towel.

Plenty of people sit in front of computers trying to find order and make progress day after day, as the tension grows in their shoulders, and their joints stiffen, and their eyes glass over with tiny red veins streaking the white parts.

Plenty of people sacrifice creative expression for being practical.

Plenty of people feel they must suppress, hide, and lie about who they really are and what they really think just to make their boss and coworkers comfortable.

Plenty of people look at their pay check and realize they’d sold their soul at a discounted rate.

Plenty of people find themselves yelling at their children because they have to rush off to work on a Saturday morning.

Plenty of people wake up at 5am, worried about what they still need to do to make someone else’s dream come true.

Plenty of people have to chase down information in a place where communication is anything but clear.

Plenty of people drink half a bottle of wine every night to numb out the voices inside that keep asking, “What are you doing with your life?”

Plenty of people endure this for lifetimes.
